A crypto trader from the Netherlands had been brutally tortured in front of his 4-year-old daughter, by 3 suspects disguised as police. The investigator suspected that the criminals stole some private keys, passwords that transferred the victim's fund to the suspect's wallet. How could the criminal know his a trader and identity, location? Could this be an inside job?

This is really bad. I advise if you have much bitcoin dont ever say in it public

No one is stupid enough to say that they own a certain number of Bitcoins in the public. But the tax regulations and laws in certain countries requires you to divulge about your crypto holdings to the authorities. And once your information is loaded to the public servers, normally it won't take much time for that data to end up in the hands of shady people.

hacking tax authority servers just to rob crypto traders? that sounds a bit elaborate.

plenty of people are stupid enough to boast about their crypto holdings in public---this isn't the first time this type of thing has happened. like others have mentioned, this is why i am very discreet in public about my involvement with bitcoin and primarily only discuss it with trusted friends/family.

bitcoin=electronic cash, so obviously if violent criminals know you have access to bitcoin, you have a target on your back. plan accordingly and maybe don't go around flashing hardware wallets or slapping bitcoin stickers on your laptop.

That's what we all should be ready to do if we want to avoid what happen to guy. Some person will always say much of what they have and owe, even the one they did't. Sometime is better to be secretive than be open to dangers with friends.

This is very alarming to all people who trade cryptocurrency out there. Do not share your personal profit amount and always secure your private keys. Sharing to other people that you are in trading is not advisable. This news will represent a warning to all of us who trades crypto.

Its really painful such things are happening. The truth is we don't know the mind of people, thus we have to be very mindful of who we tell we posse Bitcoins. There are people who will go the extra mile to extra our bitcoin details from us. We just have to be careful out there.

And this now got me worried its adviceable not to tell anyone how much cryptocurrency you have or hold presently who knows? You might be a target, let's be more extra careful

You have wisely said a vital point to us that we don't need to disclose of how much cryptocurrency we are holding in our wallets. It can help the criminals to detect that persons details.

Unless the criminals have access to kyc details you provided to an exchange. I've read this kind of story probably two times now and it's alarming. You're both right that basic precaution should include never bragging or disclosing how much btc or crypto you own. It'll do more harm than good unless you tell to an extremely trusted family member or loved one.

Of course this is a lesson for us that not everyone likes what we have, even some are jealous, so they make the decision to rob or force us to release our bitcoin.
The Bitcoin that we have is anonymous, so the factor is we show or boast as bitcoin owners so that bad people target the bitcoin we have. So it's better to keep quiet because it makes us safe.

Oh yeah for sure, this is really important. Not everybody is a good person in this world, at all.

If you want to be relaxed, then you could hire bodyguards of course. Otherwise then it's better to take some security measurements. I personally believe that the first option is better if you have a big amount.

Why? Because preying eyes will eventually target you.

Sad and terrible news I think that an inside job maybe the information came from the family members, relatives, or even close frinds.
We should knows somtimes even the trusted people they can traitor because of self interest so we need to double care our investment. One to two person are enough to know the secret.

Oh, sad to know this. I think that should be the case of pre-planned everything and nice set-up of time to steal what they have stolen. I hope concerned departments will do the rest to get everything for the affected family.

Nowadays, the governments all around the world give very little respect for individual privacy. In many of the jurisdictions, Bitcoin traders are required to give details about their wallet balance and their weekly or monthly turnover. But the cops are claiming that in this case none of the crypto was stolen from the victim. So I guess the criminals were not that accustomed with crypto?

oh no, this is terrible. I suggest to all of us that if you get a lot of profit in your trade. you should not show it on social media or even your friends. except close friends. because this is very dangerous. the crime happened because of an opportunity. beware and stay humble even though you get a lot of profits.

No matter how secure is your wallet. If someone knows that you own some big amount of money then you won't be so resilient to physical violence. If some of you will get big amount of BTC then don't be greedy / stupid and use a good bitcoin mixer.

Quote from: pushups44 on March 06, 2019, 05:53:43 AM

My advice for Americans and those where it's legal to do so is to arm yourself and always have your gun handy in case violent intruders enter your property. In Europe, perhaps there are other safeguards. What happened in the Netherlands is a great example of why gun ownership should be allowed among the general public.

Even a gun won't be that useful when someone performs a planned attack when you are not expecting it.

I'd say it's pretty damn risky to go after someone who ALWAYS carries, and has his gun right by him in his sleep, but OK. It's not a smart thing to rob in some states, in my humble view. But whatever floats the boats of idiots out there.

We all know that cryptocurrency world is anonymous and there is no way that the suspect knows that the victim has a cryptocurrency account not unless he tells them about it or post it on social media. Since he was tortured, I assume that the criminals know the victim because of posting his personal life in public. He maybe tells that he had a huge money in there also for the suspect who force and torture him.

When you can't steal or steal Altcoin from anyone, how do you do it? Simply kidnap the person and torture them, forcing them to say that the private key has access to all the Altcoin they have. As this market grows and Altcoins have higher and higher prices, it will make the same attacks more and more.

I think bitcoin trader known the suspect because if not,how did the suspect know that he owns and holds a lot of coin if he did not known or close person who do that to him? Now this is the lesson to all of us. In terms in privacy and security we need to be carefull and make it private for your own safety.
